Now there are some new suggestions, such as eating dark chocolate and having cold meat for breakfast. You should also avoid(避免) watching soap operas, spending time with people who complain or follow fat-free diets, according to a new book on getting “brain-fit”. Many of the suggestions in Teach Yourself Training Your Brain are surprising. The book says to read out loud while holding a baby. Writers Terry Horne and Simon Wootton say their advice is from the latest research by experts around the world. “For years we have thought our brain capability(能力) is decided by our genes(基因). But it’s now clear that it depends on our lifestyle. What we eat and drink, how we learn at school and what type of feelings we have are all important,” said Horne. The book talks about the most up-to-date thinking in science about how diet, the environment, stress and other sides of modern life affect our brain capacity. It also offers advice and rcises. The book comes as more and more people are spending money on books, DVDs and computer games, which can improve their brain’s capability. Horne believes that people need to make changes to their lifestyles to increase their brain capacity. Happiness, confidence and an optimistic(乐观的) nature help the brain, he added. “So mix with people who make you laugh, or share the same interests as you. And avoid people who complain,” said Horne. “People who are negative will make you sad, which means you won’t achieve things.” 34. According to the book, which of the following isn’t good for training your brain? A. Doing some brain games. B. Eating dark chocolate. C. Having cold meat for breakfast. D. Watching soap operas. 35. What’s Horne’s attitude toward the brain capability? A. It depends on what our genes are like. B. It’s decided by our lifestyle. C. It has nothing to do with schools. D. It should follow the type of our feelings. 九年级英语 第 5 页 共 14 页 36. What’s the book Teach Yourself Training Your Brain mainly about? A. How people’s brain capability works.

A. more and more people are interested in reading B. books can help people improve their brain capability C. people are paying more attention to training their brain D. there are many ways to train people’s brain C Napoga is a 12-year-old girl in Ghana(加纳), Africa. It is hard for her family to get clean water. Every morning, she leaves home at 5:30 to get clean water for her family in a village far away. It takes her six hours to get enough clean water for daily cooking and drinking. She has no time to go to school or to play with her friends. Millions of people in the world are like Napoga. They can’t get enough clean water to keep healthy. Earth Day is on April 22. But on all other days, we must also remember it. The water we use is the most important natural resource(自然资源) on the earth. Water covers 70% of the earth’s surface. But most of that is sea water. We can’t use it for very many things. Fresh water covers only 1% of the earth’s surface. You probably feel lucky that your life isn’t as hard as Napoga’s. But that doesn’t mean you don’t have to worry about water. We all face serious water problems. One of them is water pollution. All kinds of things from cars, factories, farms and homes make our rivers, lakes, and oceans dirty. Polluted water is very bad for people to drink. And dirty water is bad for fish, too. Now, 34% of all kinds of fish are dying out. How do cars and factories make our water dirty? First, they pollute the air. Then, when it rains, the rain water comes down and makes our drinking water dirty. Dirty rain, called acid rain(酸雨), is also bad for plants, animals and buildings. Scientists say that in 30 years, more than half of the people in the world won’t have enough clean water. We have to learn how to save more water for ourselves and our children. Here is some advice for saving water: ●Turn off the water while you brush your teeth. You can save as much as 450 liters(升) each month. ●Leaky taps(漏水的龙头) waste a lot of water. Fix them right away! ●You can easily cut your 10-minute showers in half—
